Local teen Livy Jeanne just released her first country-pop single, Any Other Way, for Black Box Music/Universal Music Canada.

The blossoming star is also making a name for herself by speaking out about her experiences at the hands of bullies. Last year, she shared her story and music with students in schools across Alberta as part of her You Don’t Have To Be Invisible Tour.

Jeanne is the second Edmonton-area country artist to make her/his major-label debut in the last two months. Brett Kissel released his first single, Started With a Song, for Warner Music in June.
